Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Attempted to upgrade tomcat8 from 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 to 8.0.14-1+deb8u6
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade resulted in the output:
--- cut here ---
Setting up tomcat8 (8.0.14-1+deb8u6) ...
dpkg: error processing package tomcat8 (--configure):

invocations of `apt-get -f install` have provided the same results.
I've tracked the source of the error code 128 as far as line 92 of
/usr/share/debconf/frontend, indicating that the 128 is generated within

$confmodule, but I'm not familiar enough with the internals of Debian
package

management to trace it any further than that at this time.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Incomplete package upgrade. Error messages as given above.
As you can see below, the tomcat8-admin, tomcat8-common, and libtomcat8-java

packages all upgraded successfully to 8.0.14-1+deb8u6. It is only the
'bare'
